2 Microsoft Excel videos that should help Project Planners & Schedulers
Two YouTube videos from Microsoft Excel MVPs, Leila Gharani and Jon Acampora, might help planners and schedulers improve their efficiency in Microsoft Excel.
The first video by Leila, titled “The Excel Timeline chart you'll actually keep using”, focuses on building a visually effective timeline chart, guiding viewers through the process of structuring data and transforming it into a clean, presentation-ready graphic. By demonstrating how to manipulate chart elements and apply formatting techniques, the video highlights how even complex project timelines can be communicated clearly within a familiar spreadsheet environment. The tutorial reflects a broader demand for accessible data visualisation skills in workplaces where clarity and speed are increasingly valued.
The second video by Jon, titled “10 Excel Secrets That Erase Hours of Tedious Work”, turns to productivity, offering a series of time-saving shortcuts designed to streamline everyday tasks in Excel. From rapidly inserting large numbers of rows to navigating datasets more efficiently, Jon emphasises techniques that reduce repetitive manual work.
